In any classroom there are the students with special needs that require constant, consistent modifications and/or accommodations for instruction implementation, for intellectual/academic challenge, for behavioral and time management issues, and for personal and classroom safety. There are different names - Special Education, Exceptional Children’s Services, Special Needs Services – for programs that address these learners.
Exceptional Children (EC) is a designation for students who have different educational needs than the average child. Many children in exceptional children’s (EC) programs have physical, mental, or social disabilities, but in North Carolina academically gifted children are also classified as EC.
Every child has the legal right to a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment possible. EC programs are designed to meet each child’s educational needs. Examples may include:
A deaf child may be able to participate in regular classes with the help of a sign language interpreter.
A mentally disabled child may need a specialized academic curriculum but may still be able to participate in physical education with other children his age.
A child with an autism spectrum disorder may benefit from specific training in social skills.
A student with learning disabilities may need extra time to complete standardized tests.
An academically or intellectually gifted student may benefit from additional educational challenges.
